For the sake of America, we need to end the two party stranglehold on politics in this country. It is so bad now that even the most independent minded voters parrot the two-party-line that they must not "waste their vote" on a third party. The thing is, voting for Democrats or Rebublicans is actually wasting a vote because it is just a vote to maintain the status quo.

We voters have been brainwashed into believing that there are significant differences between the two parties - but there are not. The only real difference is in what they say. They all appeal to their base - usually promising to spend more money on things their base wants. As for how they actually govern - well, it's just one big lovefest: both parties in total collusion keeping the war machine going, the big banks happy, and the debt for future generations rising!!!

So why not just do it? There are more unaffiliated voters in this country than there are Democrats or Republicans. If every unaffiliated voter refused to vote D or R, that would be it - game over!! So why don't we ALL vote third party this time around? It doesn't really matter which third party candidate you vote for - as long as it's not a Democrat or Republican. Just one election cycle with no votes for Democrats or Rebublicans would be enough to do it. Congress would be filled with enough new blood, and new ideas, to effectively end crony-capitalism, the military industrial complex, corporate welfare, and all of the other evils perpetrated by the two-party duopoly on America. If we want to send a loud, clear message to Washington D.C. (and to all our state and local governments as well), then refuse to vote Democrat or Republican.

About Me

First things first: my philosophy, both political and spiritual, is constantly evolving - so some of my older posts don't reflect where I am today. I am a Christian Libertarian (former Republican). I am pro-life and non-interventionist. I seek to live by the words of Revelation 22:11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." I am also a non-Darwinist; a Protestant quasi-Thomist and a heavy metal lover (Rammstein, Nevermore and Black Sabbath are my favorite bands).
